Thanks for all the help. I pulled the latest today (0.7.3), and after a
|
|
few fix-ups, I got it built. Here are the tweaks I needed to build it for
|
|
SGI IRIX 6.5 using gcc.
|
|
|
|
==========
|
|
PROBLEM #1
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
Ethereal doesn't use RPATH (see ld(1) for shared library linking on all
|
|
platforms that support it (e.g. SGI IRIX, FreeBSD ELF, etc.), just
|
|
Solaris it appears. Instead, ethereal recommends use of the
|
|
LD_LIBRARY_PATH hack which causes all sorts problems.
|
|
|
|
On SGI IRIX this is -rpath to the linker, on Solaris -R, on FreeBSD ELF
|
|
--rpath, etc.
|
|
|
|
SOLUTION: Slip in my linker flags when configuring ethereal so it can
|
|
find libgtk, libgmodule, libsnmp, etc. at run-time without
|
|
LD_LIBRARY_PATH:
|
|
|
|
env LDFLAGS="-rpath $HOME/software/gtk+-1.2.3/lib:$HOME/software/glib-1.2.3/lib:/usr/local/lib" configure --prefix=$HOME/software/ethereal-0.7.3 --with-gtk-prefix=$HOME/software/gtk+-1.2.3
|
|
|
|
BETTER SOLUTION: Modify configure to support RPATH for more platforms
|
|
than Solaris.
|
|
|
|
[NOTE: configure is generated from configure.ac and acinclude.m4, and
|
|
all the linking stuff is done by libtool. We don't recommend the
|
|
LD_LIBRARY_PATH hack - perhaps we did so in the past, but we don't do so
|
|
now.]
|
|
|
|

|
|
PROBLEM #2
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
__P not defined -- packet-snmp.c fails to build
|
|
(gcc version 2.95.1 19990816 (release), SGI IRIX 6.5.5f)
|
|
|
|
SOLUTION: Include gnuc.h -- it defines it

[NOTE: we don't use the __P macro ourselves; some of the SNMP libraries
|
|
might, but that's a bug in the libraries if they require you to define
|
|
__P in order to use them.]

*** Could not run GTK test program, checking why...
|
|
*** The test program compiled, but did not run. This usually means

|
*** that the run-time linker is not finding GTK or finding the wrong

|
*** version of GTK. If it is not finding GTK, you'll need to set your

|
|
*** to the installed location Also, make sure you have run ldconfig if that
|

*** is required on your system
|

***
|
|
*** If you have an old version installed, it is best to remove it, although

2. Patches to libpcap that may be necessary
|
|
|
|
On IRIX, older versions of the libpcap library use, in
|
|
"pcap_open_live()", the snapshot length passed in, without reducing it
|
|
to be less than or equal to the MTU of the interface. If the snapshot
|
|
length is larger than the interface MTU, IRIX will return an error; this
|
|
means that, for example, the Wireshark default snapshot length of 65535,
|
|
chosen so that all of the packet is captured, will not work.
|
|
|
|
Current versions of libpcap, from tcpdump.org, do not do so.
